India vs Afghanistan Prediction & Betting Tips 2026
India enters the upcoming Test match against Afghanistan as the favourites to win. The team has been strong against them in the previous game and also takes the home-ground advantage. But the home-ground advantage has not been much beneficial for the Indian team in Tests lately, as their home record has fallen down over the last few years. They have batsmen such as KL Rahul, who has scored 4053 runs in 118 innings at an average of 35.86, and Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has scored 2511 runs in 53 innings at an average of 49.23. Kuldeep Yadav will be a key bowler, as he holds 76 wickets in 32 innings at an average of 22.42.
On the other hand, Afghanistan will be eager to make a massive turnaround in the upcoming Test match against India. The team has faced India once in the longest format but have not been able to defeat them or even come close to the win. This time, they will look to take revenge for the massive loss they suffered in 2018. They have batsmen such as Hashmatullah Shahidi, who has scored 771 runs in 21 innings at an average of 48.18, and Azmatullah Omarzai, who has scored 149 runs in 7 innings at an average of 37.25 in First Class. Bilal Sami has been a key bowler, who holds 25 wickets in 18 innings at an average of 23.03 in First Class.
